Pipe Stress Analysis Complete Course from PASS

leaves out effects of wall buckling and thermal buckling which WILL lead to disaster if not analyzed separately with a finite element program capable of higher order non-linear buckling. customer service is absolutely hostile, arrogant, condescending, rude if you need some clarification or add'l technical basis. As a designer of hundreds of process plants, I STRONGLY DISCRECOMMEND. Yes Dr. Matveev, it is YOUR course and your own marketing manager and sales department who were condescending and arrogant. Of course, your reply is no different, completely dismissing my awful experience and making no offer to investigate your poor business practices. And why don't you disclose adequate WARNINGS as to the limitations of your program??

This is the most elaborate, comprehensive course on piping system & stress analysis(among many) that I have seen/purchased. 40 lectures in 25 long hours with trove of information is as comprehensive as it can get. USP of the course is its Presentation, which keeps the attention captivated. This course has 3 Heros, the Software, the Content & the Presenter. The software (START-PROF) allows piping modelling in innumerable ways, every type of model imaginable can be developed. It has exhaustive modelling tools & aids, material data base, manufactures database & Codes’ library. 3D, 1D & FEM models are lifelike in vivid vibrant colors, Displacement & Thermal expansion simulations are real life like, vivid with variable Scale Factor. Stress status at a glance(green, yellow & red) is very useful. 360 degree rotation of model makes visualization even more appealing. HELP menu provides enormous amount of helpful explanation, literature, data & diagrams covering various aspects of the subject. Software’s ability to interact with other similar software, developing model from imported raw data is of immense help. The content of the course is exhaustively elaborate and cover all gamut of piping system & stress analysis. Each aspect of analysis is explained in detail. Each dropdown menu, data tick box in each menu, data input method(manually entered or taken from software), Effect of ticking/not ticking data tick box on analysis result are explained. Explanation slides with screen grabs from Software, Code paragraphs, tables & diagrams & the way presenter connects these aspects to analysis process are extremely helpful in easy understanding of subject. Explanation slides contain relevant & appropriate explanations from various Codes. Real life videos are of immense help is visualizing the failure situations. All the explanation slides are provided in Resource helps enhance theoretical knowledge and serves as reference material. The Presenter(Alex Metveev) does an excellent job of presenting the course. His complete knowledge of Software, Subject matter & Presentation skills are evident. His connecting code position & how software handles it is very helpful. Alex’s scribbling on explanation slides also add the ease of understanding. His voice modulation & tempo are just perfect. It wouldn’t be surprising if his presentation makes software more popular. All in All it’s an Academy Award level Course.

YA QUE SOY PRINCIPIANTE EN ESTE TIPO DE SOFTWARE, SE ME HACE MUY COMPLETO EN TODOS LOS SENTIDOS PARA REALIZAR LAS FLEXIBILIDADES

The detailed description for each step is good. However, if someone is looking for the intricacies of why and when, this course might not present the same. Although that doesn’t seem to be the purpose of the course, it would be amazing if the engineering reasons for doing something is described in the course as well. Again, the training itself is excellent and easy to follow!!

it was the best ever training course I have seen. I learned a lot but I need to review them all many times and need much practice to over mastery

Hi Alex The software and your lectures explaining the theory behind Piping Stress Analysis are simply superb. You have explained many complex concepts in a manner that is understandable even to fresh engineers. I have used CAESER, TRIFLEX and SIMFLEX pipe stress Analysis software in my early days of professional engineering. However, the ease of modeling and the built in technical information/knowledge available in PASS/PROF is excellent. Congratulations! on producing PASS/PROF Suite

Especially, I would highlight theoretical part, excellent job! Many thanks Alex for sharing your knowledge!

It is an extensive and complete course. In my personal opinion, while some topics may be complex for new piping stress engineers, it gives them a glance of what other subjects we must explore and learn during our professional career. Additionally, for those with vast experience, it reinforces what is already known. I am 100% sure that there is something new to learn from this course for everyone. My respects and congratulations to Mr. Alex for creating this course. It is an important contribution for the pipe stress analysis field.

The instructor's knowledge is remarkable. He makes the course simple, understandable and easy to follow.

The Course is designed in the very good manner balancing software information with the basics of stress analysis. It helped me to refresh the basics with adding the software skills. It is very helpful for me to understand detailed information on Bourdon effect and glimpse of codes equations other than B31.3. Thanks Alex for the wonderful Course.

I have an experience of over 25 years in the field of mechanical engineering and especially in refinery and petrochemical equipment, respectively in flexibility analysis related to pipelines. I am a professor at the University of Oil and Gas in Ploiesti and I appreciate the course as one of the best, primarily due to the quality and depth of the information provided. Soon I started implementing the Pass Start/Prof program during the classes and I am extremely pleased. I will be back soon with further details.
